Since being moved to BES 4, my 7520 (latest HH software installed) seems to hang all the time. I'll pull it out of the holster and it will be frozen for several seconds before it responds to the wheel or keypad. We have two other 7520 users with the same issue. We only have 5 people in this division on the BES 4 server and the other two just got their phones which are 7510s

Is this normal? Because people are going to complain and it is going to get really irritating.

Well I've been on the phone off and on for the past few days with Nextel. They had me remove the battery and it seemed to fix the problem for about 24 hours and then the phone started random hanging. Today my boss's phone froze while the division president was trying to call him and he was unable to take the call.

Nextel told me to 507 my phone and reload the OS which didn't help.

Today Nextel Blackberry support decided that all 3 of our 7520 phones must be defective, which I find it very hard to believe because other 7520 phones in our California division are having this issue, and this issue didn't show up when the phones were on the BES 3.6

So far only 7520 phones have shown this issue, 7510, 7290, and 7100's are fine.

7520 are equipped with evdo chip. They are suppose to handle voice data simulatneously. However with the current firmware it lacks this functionality. My belief is that the transition between voice /data mode doesn't go very well, thats why there are random complains. According to my chat with RIM & Verizon in the past, there should be an upgraded code in 3rd quarter capable of doing so.

If you mean you get the hourglass for 5-10 seconds that becomes normal after having your BlackBerry for a while and especially if your on a BES it laggs every once in a while... As for just hanging at a screen w/ no hourglass I don't know that anyones really been able to determine whether it's a large amount of data packets being received or OS hangup.

are there any IT Policies enabled? or do you have Content Protection enabled locally onthe phone? we had the BES set for 256-bit ECC Content Protection and it KILLED my phone. setting it locally on the handheld is 160-bit, which would still cause some drain on the handheld.

if you want, right after the lock up, hold in ALT and type LGLG and see if you see anything in the device's event logs that may give away the error.
